NTFS does support case internally.

  And windows now supports longer paths, but I think it's still disabled by default (and I'm sure there's a bunch of legacy software that is still using old APIs and can't support long paths anyways).

    Windows Explorer itself is an example of such "legacy software".

    The limit was with Win32. It’s not a “legacy” API, but it is as old as NT. There are some applications which do not use the MAX_PATH constant, such as Office (probably one of the few rate examples; Office apps have some horrid hacks like this and how they paint their menu bar). Case sensitivity will break certain applications.
